Day 24 ~ Gooseberry

Neglected little fruit
I can rarely find
Green, you are so sharp and smart,
Ripened, you are sunlight
With hidden sweet, a pleasure.

The shy girl at the dance;
Sharp words can stop a suitor
But when once won she is the sun
Warm and worth the waiting.
It takes time to know her measure.
